Hence, the present study was undertaken to observe the effectiveness of 8 weeks of vestibular exercise on stress and cognitive parameters in patients with type 2 diabetes. A total of 30 participants were recruited for the study. After recruiting, the participants were randomly assigned to the control and intervention groups with a 1:1 distribution. The vestibular exercises comprise three sets of exercises of 45 minutes duration each session. Four sessions per week were administered to the participants. The exercises were standardized by earlier researchers. The same was adopted in the present study. There was a significant decrease in the depression, anxiety, and stress scores in the participants. Spatial memory was significantly increased followed by the intervention. There was a significant increase in the verbal memory also followed by intervention.The present study results show that practicing vestibular
